Dual-port SAS PCIe adapter, FC 57B3, 3Gb/s with 1.5GB cache, sibling of 46K5840. Ships worldwide.
The IBM 46K5868 is a dual-port SAS PCIe adapter, feature code 57B3, running at 3Gb/s with 1.5GB of cache, sold interchangeably with the closely related 46K5840 and 44V8580 part numbers for the same feature. It provides SAS-attached disk connectivity to Power Systems servers with onboard cache to improve write performance over a cache-less controller. Adapters of this type are used both for internal SAS drive attachment and, with appropriate cabling, external SAS enclosures. Tech-Star ships worldwide from UK stock. Confirm your system has a compatible PCIe slot and that your storage configuration calls for a cached SAS controller before ordering, since cached and non-cached SAS adapters are not always interchangeable in RAID configurations.
